Weather, price of gas, attitudes, personal abilities, etc. For me, I have slowed on Sun-‘n-Fun attendance due to the fact that WE take our airplanes there, WE are part of the show and WE end up being taken to the cleaners with on-site prices and attention. It has become that my main reason to attend Sun-‘n-Fun (and Oshkosh) is to renew acquaintances. Sun-‘n-Fun has become a commercial venture, as Oshkosh has already become. Sport flying has become a backseat issue for these events.

I own two vintage airplanes. That lack of respect for such aircraft at Sun-‘n-Fun makes me NOT want to fly there.

As a result, I only attend every few years. When I lived in Tampa, I volunteered at Sun-‘n-Fun for a number of years. But, eventually, I felt “used” for commercial purposes and the rewards were not there so I backed off.

Sorry for expressing negative issues, but I would rather support local fly-ins which focus on flying.
